John Scrutton 180 Posted February 7, 2020 i don't think that Crump will be back It would mean that he would have to up root his family or spend the next few months on his own here in Britain and I cant see him doing that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However think I have seen somewhere that he will be in England with his son for the the entire summer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would be a gamble on a 5.00 average How many leagues do the Panthers race in then, he would be only riding once maybe twice a week, get practically most of the UK summer months off, 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cambpanther 172 Posted February 7, 2020 Id take crump even on a 8+ average. Mainly because im expecting last 3 to be Tungate, Summers, Ostergaard.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,314 Posted February 7, 2020 It's worth reminding people that Phil Crump made a comeback at Swindon after three years out, and he was quite a bit younger than Jason is now. He turned out to be very much a shadow of his former self, averaging just over 4 points a meeting in today's money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can vaguely remember him assisting Mark Loram into the back straight fence at Lynn on a Bank Holiday Monday morning that year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he came back at the tail end of 90 as i remember him guesting for Todd for us i think and being absolutely fuming as he was terrible.. it was my first season so had no idea he was quality a few years previous..

What Jason had, that Phil didn't, was the world championship winning mentality. I'm not so sure he'll have that now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
